Do you have a favorite cookie?

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk

Do I have to choose?

I just ate 10 lemon Oreo thins in under five minutes.

Have you guys ever had these. My Grammy used to have them at her house. Haven't had them in years.

Cookie Kwan

Fat cunts, the lot of you!

Chocolate mint - whether Girl Scouts or Keebler.

Chris Morocco's chocolate chip cookies. (Bon Appetit's Best)

Killer recipe. Super easy. No creaming the butter, you melt most of it and mix in the remainder. The cookies have an almost savory taste. I make double batches of the raw dough, freeze them and always have them available.

Why yes, I am a fat whore.

Don’t laugh, but Chrissy Teigen’s chocolate chip cookie mix is to die for! I made them last week and they are the best cookie from a mix I’ve ever had! Just make sure to chill your dough two hours before baking.

If you’re in the LA area Bristol Farms sells this mix.

Oatmeal raisin is a cookie of sadness.

It's the one you think is chocolate chip but ends up not being chocolate chip.

They make lemon Oreos, R3?

I'm in a classic Sophie's Choice situation. It's a real jam because I have two favorites. I can't decide between Cookie Puss and Cookie O'Puss.

While I respect the idea of lemon Oreos, Oreos are best left chocolate.

Milano.

These are delicious!

Sorry bad link. Meant to link Trader Joe’s maple leaf cookies.

Only complete psychopaths choose "oatmeal raisin" -- the absolute worst cookie -- as their favorite cookie.

My grandmother’s lemon shortbread.

Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies - and definitely made without nuts

White chocolate macadamia.

[quote]Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies.

Those are good.

I don't know if these are my absolute favorites but let me say a few nostalgic words about the ones I remember from my Western PA childhood.

No bake cookies - which if I remember were Hershey's cocoa, oatmeal, sometimes peanut butter, and probably a few dabs of this or that.

Buckeyes - which are really more almost a cousin to fudge. But also "no bake." You get chocolate and peanut butter together - dip PB balls into chocolate, and they look a bit like acorns, thus "buckeyes." I think more popular in OH but we had them too.

And potato candy. Which is not as good as no bakes and buckeyes but fun to make as a kid. Probably something inherited from Pennsylvania Dutch. You literally roll potatoes out into a dough, add some filling (usually peanut butter as it was cheapest), roll it back up, freeze, and then cut into bites.

I always hated that Girl Scouts cornered the cookie market. Why couldn’t Boy Scouts have gotten some of the action?

I'm going to side with R22. On all those cookie samplers from delis and catering, the white chocolate macadamia is always the best.

Chocolate chip

OP! Thank you for choosing oatmeal raisin!! They’re my favorite as well and they’re sadly so maligned. (It probably doesn’t help my credibility to admit I’m ok with pineapple on pizza).

R11, to me, the biggest disappointment is when you think you have an oatmeal raisin cookie and it turns out to be oatmeal chocolate chip. That will ruin an entire day for me.

Oatmeal chocolate chip, followed closely by oatmeal raisin. I also love those Cowboy Cookies but haven't had them in ages.....

Oatmeal cookies are sad AF. I can't believe people rank them so highly. They strike me as depression food.

Chocolate chip, probably. With or without walnuts.

Homemade chocolate chip and homemade peanut butter are two of my favorites from childhood. Also love double chocolate chip. As an adult I appreciate shortbread a lot too.

My favorite cookies are made with bittersweet chocolate chunks, oatmeal, dried cranberries, and sprinkled with fleur de sel.

They are so delicious.

R27, you have it all backwards.

Oatmeal cookies are great. Raisins ruin them. And chocolate-chip oatmeal are great.

You need to re-evaluate your life. Oatmeal Raisin cookies aren't just the most disappointing cookie on the planet, they're literally the worst cookie.

I can't believe some of you are coming for oatmeal raisin cookies.

White chocolate without any goddamn nuts.

Ain't nobody coming for any stanky ass oatmeal raisin cookies.

Oatmeal cranberry cookies are better than oatmeal raisin.

I made these a few weeks ago and they were delicious. They're a take on peanut butter blossoms, but with almond butter. And they're much larger and instead of a Hershey's kiss, they're topped with half of a Hershey bar.

Shortbread cookies!

Linzer tarts are my favorite.

I love raisins in hot oatmeal, they plump up. But when you bake raisins in an oatmeal cookie they look like shriveled up black ants.

Yeah, I like shortbread cookies. The Walkers are good if you don't bake.

If there were lemon Oreos, that would be my favorite cookie.

Current Limited Edition: Pepperidge Farm "Pumpkin Cheesecake."

A really well made oatmeal raisin is super delicious.

Oatmeal raisin cookies [italic] when fresh out of the oven [/italic] are delicious but an hour or two later turn into hockey pucks with wrinkly ants. Blech.

Cookie Mueller, Cookie Rojas, Cookie Johnson, and many, many more.

Cookie Lyon!

Oatmeal Raisin cookies are for those with a refined pallet.

That should have been palate.

I like these Lu Pim's Raspberry European Biscuits.

Ginger Cookies from a WVA Congregational church's cookbook (from the '60, maybe?). If you like them soft, bake for eight minutes, 10 for crisp (the former for me, please).

Spicy ginger cookies, slightly crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside.

Yeah, I like ginger snaps. Hard to find a good, gingery / peppery one with a good texture. I tried the Trader Joe's triple ginger cookies and was disappointed.

I found some chocolate-strawberry Milanos at Grocery Outlet ... they were pretty good.

Jam filled butter cookies! I like blueberry and cherry jam.

R50, the "pallet" made it funny. Because no, people with refined "palates" simply reject those awful cookies.

R56, my mom makes a version of those with raspberry or apricot jams, but the cookies are almond/amaretto, with an almond/vanilla drizzle on top. They are HEAVEN.

Cookie Bumstead, Blondie & Dagwood’s daughter. What is she like 91 years old at this point?

The thumbprint cookies at r56 are making me hungry!

This thread is making me hungry.

[quote] Cookie Bumstead, Blondie & Dagwood’s daughter. What is she like 91 years old at this point?

She's 82 you ignorant slut.

This cookie sounds horrible (and frau-tastic) but tastes pretty good. Peanut butter cookie with a Hershey kiss (chocolate) on top. My sister makes it during Christmas. I don't even like peanut butter cookies, but this is pretty good.

Any cookie recipe can be improved with the addition of turbinado sugar, paprika and cod.

I'm fond of chocolate crinkles made with a rich, dark chocolate. They used to be a regular inclusion in Christmas cookie platters, but I don't see them as often these days.

r62 those were mentioned at r39

If you like jam thumbprints and almond, I suggest you try these Scandinavian Jam Tarts. (They're called tarts but they're really like a cross between a pastry and a cookie.) One of the best recipes I've ever made.

Wedding cookies and fresh, warm sugar cookies.

[quote]Oatmeal Raisin cookies are for those with a refined pallet.

That's hilariously pretentious. They're fed to schoolchildren.

What are wedding cookies?

I also love the jam-based cookies mentioned here. Pepperidge Farm always has a nice linzer cookie around for the holidays.

They're called peanut butter blossoms, R62. R39 posted an almond butter version.

Oooooooh R57! They sound good! Do you happen to have a recipe?

Thank you R66. Those look delicious!

Shortbread

[quote]If there were lemon Oreos, that would be my favorite cookie.

Aren't there, R43? I was under the impression that was one of the flavors.

Frosted or iced molasses cookies are pretty good.

I remember eating lemon Oreos during the pandemic, during lockdown. Not lemony, not good.

Oatmeal butterscotchies. Or Mexican wedding/Russian tea cookies.

For those in West LA

[quote]lemon Oreos

I think lemon is a tricky flavor to get correct.

OP- You know what’s crazy?

The very first ingredient in TATES oatmeal raisin cookies 🍪 is

BUTTER

FAT WHORES REJOICE!

I make a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate wafer (from our local higher end candy store) that no one ever turned down. I would make put 2 thin cookies together and place the chocolate wafer in the center and seal the cookies together. The wafer would always stay soft after cooking. One of my favorites. I have never liked store bought cookies as I have always liked soft cookies and store bought are always hard (except for the time they came with their version of soft cookie) I am one of the few people on the planet who detests Oreo's.

[quote] I am one of the few people on the planet who detests Oreo's.

Oreo's what, dear?

lol thank you. Oreos.

Putting raisins in cookies should be a felony.

Lately, Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux. Used to like their Milanos.

[quote]Putting raisins in cookies should be a felony.

I am so tired of the racism against raisins. What have raisins ever done to you?

Lightly salted oatmeal raisin cookies are perfection. Love the contrast of textures and the bit of salt with the sweet, fruity raisins. Heaven!

Raisins don't belong in anything IMO. Not anything good, anyway. They're hard, bitter, chewy pieces of shit doled out by hateful, miserable adults with no sense of fun or joy.

Oatmeal cookies alone are sad, depression-era, trying-to-be-healthy garbage excuses for an actual treat, but at least chocolate chips make them a little less sad. Raisin in oatmeal cookies are like a punishment. Why not just put sardines in them? Or actual excrement?

I see that R89 had to resort to violence.

[quote]Lightly salted oatmeal raisin cookies are perfection. Love the contrast of textures and the bit of salt with the sweet, fruity raisins. Heaven!

Do you know that chocolate exists? And refined flour, too. Try it some time if you really want to know heaven.

Save the oatmeal for breakfast. When you're dieting from eating so many chocolate chip cookies.

Link to new GH thread since the old one maxed out.

R92 wrong thread, dear.

Sorry for the mistake, r93

I was looking for a BLT.

I like Biscoff cookies.

[quote]I like Biscoff cookies.

Are you strapped to a seat flying 40,000 feet in the air?

I made ginger cookies after reading this thread. I happened to have a box (Betty Crocker Gingerbread mix. Don't judge!), and melted the butter instead of folding in softened. Also added a dash of cayenne and cardamom for a little extra zing. They came out perfect. Slightly crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. I will soon be a fat whore because I don't think these are going to last a full 24 hours.

Few of you mentioned shortbread upthread. Walker's are the best. You can TASTE the butter.

CVS used to sell some off brand cookies which were really good: Lemon creme and maple creme

Archway otameal raisin cookies are also tasty

I actually like these oatmeal banana cookies with peanut-butter and chocolate chips (half and half) in them. SO good. They're soft almost like cake, but crispy around the edges. The cinnamon/clove spice in them really makes it too.

I made a delicious, chewy batch of oatmeal raisin cookies after reading this thread. So wonderfully delicious.

R99 i’ve never heard of those. they sound delicious! Are they for sale in a store? Do you have a recipe?

The Doubletree hotel chocolate chip cookie is nice and does have 1/2 cup of oatmeal. I guess Hilton purchased Doubletree and the cookie recipe is no longer a secret.

For HO-made: Snickerdoodles; Peanut Butter cookies with the fork tines crosshatched; lemon icebox cookies; oatmeal chocolate chip with nuts. Yes, I make all of these.

For store-bought: the sadly defunct: Mothers Taffy, Mothers English Tea, Archway Cashew Nougat, Pepperidge Farm Sausalito, LU Petit Ecolier chocolate biscuits, Walkers Shortbread.

Yeah, I like those LU Petit Ecolier (little schoolboy) cookies / biscuits with the small chocolate bar embedded on top.

The Carr's lemon ginger sandwich cookies USED TO be good. They're horrible, now. Dry, crumbly, blech. They changed the recipe.

r103 I love Archway cashew nougat. You can usually find them around the holidays.

Rangers.

Raisins are nasty, OP.

I love the LU Petit Ecolier cookies. Let's face it, they're more of a carrier cookie for the candy bar on top. I prefer the dark chocolate ones but the milk chocolate ones are mighty tasty too.

I used to like the Newman's Own Fig Newmans. However, those have changed. Not as good as they used to be.

[quote]Do you have a favorite cookie?

No. No me don't.

Lourdes’ cookie

Communion wafers.

R101, they're a recipe... and a pretty easy one. So very delicious.

Perhaps if you gave me several to sample, I'd be able to provide an informed opinion.

R113 do you have a recipe to share? What are they called?

Oatmeal chocolate chip.

And Betty Crocker's candy cane cookies that we used to always make for xmas. My mom said they were a pain in the ass. I made them one year and she was right!

Does anyone remember the "World's Best Cookies" featuring corn flakes? My mom made these and they were pretty good. Texture was sort of like Russian tea cookies.

I'm tempted to try this today.

R118, what is tempting to you about that recipe? What is so good about "bakery style" chocolate chip cookies?

^this thread is full of old biddies pushing raisins and oatmeal every 3rd post and you're going after a chocolate chip recipe??

R109 It's time you accepted the truth: none of the Newman's Own line was ever good. It was always the label and the marketing and the cause-related aspect. It made all the white ladies a little damp.

Are you kidding? Newman's Own salad dressings are some of the best bottled dressings I've tried.

(admittedly haven't tried them in the last few years, but before that they were amazing).

The Newman's Own chocolate bars were good, too, specifically the espresso one.

Homemade, but warm from the oven: Snickerdoodles

Homemade, cooled off: Oatmeal Raisin Coconut(one of my mom's specialties)

Commercially available: Lorna Doone

Gone But Not Forgotten: There was an ice cream place in CC Philly(the name is lost in the mists of Time) that sold the absolute best chocolate chip cookies: Big, thick, greasy, packed with chips and yes, with walnuts(scoff not, unbelievers) Honorable Mention: Koffmeyer's(?) down at Head House Square made CC cookies as big, square bar cookies(always asked for a corner piece)

WALNUTS IN COOKIES ARE AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE WORSE THAN RAISINS YOU FREAK

Sometimes I add Trader Joe’s sweet and spicy pecans to my chocolate chip cookies. Delicious!

No no no, nuts in chocolate chip cookies are definitely an abomination.

R89, I used to make a scrumptious Chicken Flautas dish that included Golden Raisins. I would soften them first in chicken broth.

Not a cookie, but Tru-Whip on Cinnamon Honey Grahams is fab!

It's like a No-Bake Pie on a Graham Cracker Crust.

A chookie!

So many fat cunts in this thread

r131 your point being...??

Fortnum & Mason Macadamian nut shortbread.

Hi Cookie Monsters. Well thanks to the cookie loving fat bastard above, I went and made those Doubletree Cookies. The lemon juice ingredient was odd, but I went for it.

I like that these have some oats in them. I did not include the walnuts. And I added a little expresso powder (like the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe)

The dough is chilling!

R124, Koffmeyer's moved to Havertown, and sadly they don't make Head House Squares that often these days. Their regular cookies are still good.

Cowboy cookies. I sell my cookies. I let the neighbor boy have one the other day and his eyes got big and he said, “these are the best fucking cookies 🍪 I have ever tasted, did you make them?” I felt so happy I have worked hard in my cooking adventures. It’s quite rewarding.

Cookie dripping cum n lipid

Where do you sell your cookies R136?

R138 to anyone who wants cookies. Word of mouth. Friends of friends.

Do you make any profit R139? If so, how?

R140 yes, I make profit.

I never met a cookie I didn’t like except for the ones that my mom baked that were harder than the hubs of hell.

Make it Snickerdoodles or you can fuck right off.

How would you feel about an APPLEdoodle?

Chocolate chip cookies from this bakery in St. Paul, Minnesota. Incredible.

celli's.

I called in sick. To a doctors appointment.

It’s supposed to be in about an hour and a half from now but I don’t have the time or the motivation to make it.

It’s just a checkup, so I can reschedule (assuming I don’t die before the next available appointment)

Die Gerg!!!

Oh I totally posted r147 in the wrong thread! It was meant for the underwhelmed thread. They’ll be so whelmed when I tell them that I inadvertently posted in the cookie thread.

(I’m still 100% oatmeal raisin which I’m sure will be a disappointment to many)

r147 Did you cancel the appointment because the doctor doesn't give you cookies?

Yes r150 it was a cardiologist and I was an afraid she’d ask me what my favorite cookie is then be all judgmental and I just couldn’t handle that today. So I bailed.

Oatmeal raisin macadamia cookies. I am going to make some when I come back from my vacation.

Brown Edge Wafers

R152 those sound amazing.

I made Oatmeal Scotchies tonight. They were wonderful. I have tried several recipes and this one tops the cookie lol.

Husband was so happy they are his favorite cookie ever.

My mom used to make those when I was a kid. I remember loving them. But I don't think I've had them since becoming an adult...

[quote] Die Gerg!!!

Hush, R148.

I like this guy

Archway Cashew Nougats

Oh COOKIE, not corgi

Never mind

These French Butter cookies I bought at Costco today. Unfortnately they no longer sell them in tins. They're only sold in paper packages. No matter they're still very tasty cookies.

No, faggot! R160

The square wafer ones, what are they called? With a cream filling…

Vanilla cream sugar wafers? I FUCKING LOVE THOSE CHEAP-ASS THINGS.

R163- This is fairly low end too but one of my favorite cookies- I'm not even sure it's considered to be a cookie- are Keebler Fudge Sticks. I've gone to Stop and Shop three weeks in a row and there still out of those things- damn!

Probably my favorite store-bought cookie is, weirdly, Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies. I've been obsessed with them since I was a child, and recently bought them again (there was a sale!) and loved them just as much now.

r164 r165 Be aware that they use the word "fudge" to disguise the fact that they can't legally call them "chocolate." (Same goes for "chocolatey.")

R163 I’m tempted to go to Dollar General or Dollar Tree to find some on sale…

Don't care, R166. Fudge Stripe cookies are just plain delicious.

chocolate chip, plain sugar, and pecan shortbread. I like it simple.

Ooh, ooh, R164 they had those at my local Shop Rite this past weekend.

Oh, never mind they were Little Debbie Nutty Buddy (same in principle).

[quote] Be aware that they use the word "fudge" to disguise the fact that they can't legally call them "chocolate." (Same goes for "chocolatey.")

Why is this? Please explain.

R171 FDA

I SMELL COOKIES 🍪

I love Pecan Sandies! I wonder if these are any good?

Sandie Cameron!

COOKIES!,!,

Shocked to see the store bought cookies mentioned are decidedly downmarket brands like Keebler. Standards are clearly slipping around here. I thought the only store bought cookie crumbs that would ever land on a Datalounger's caftan would be a bit more...special.

Well Keebler Pecan Sandies are quite good.

Few companies make pecan shortbread cookies.

COOKIES FROM HOME, a shop in Tempe, AZ. They ship everywhere.

I don’t care for minty desserts and sweets. Mouthwash and mojitos only.

Chocolate chip

[quote]Well Keebler Pecan Sandies are quite good.

Weirdly, I think they're even better stale. Leave them out, opened, over night and they just improve somehow.

Made from scratch tea cakes/sugar cookies right out if the oven.

Don’t get me started!

Shortbread cookies, preferably homemade.

They’re hard to find but shortbread chocolate chip are amazing

[quote] I don’t care for minty desserts and sweets. Mouthwash and mojitos only.

Yeah, I don't like minty sweets that much, either. I also don't like mojitos. I feel like a drink should either be citrus-forward or mint-forward, not both. (Mojitos have both lime juice and mint.)

My mother’s chewy oatmeal cookies (she puts walnuts, not raisins in them)

For Christmas, my favorite are Spritz cookies

Yes, I do but you'll have to beat the shit out of me to get me to tell you what it is.

Putting walnuts in any cookie is worse than putting raisins in them. Jesus. Just stop. Walnuts taste like soap. They're gross. There is NOTHING that is better with walnuts in it than without walnuts. Period. If you HAVE to put nuts in something, Pecans are ALWAYS a better option, by like a thousand times.

R190 I love using the sweet and salty pecans in cookies. They’re delicious!

The only place walnuts belong is in a compost pile.

Only DL would rank oatmeal-raisin-walnut higher than classic chocolate chip. Bunch of joyless weirdos.

Oatmeal raisin

Pea. Nut. But. Ter.

That is all.

...But in terms of store-bought, Archway classic soft oatmeal or Ruger chocolate sugar wafers, both because they remind me of my grandpa.

I like walnuts, esp. in chocolate chip cookies.

Russian tea cakes, the kind covered in confectioners sugar.

Or Mexican wedding cookies, also covered in confectioners sugar, with a center of dulce caramel.

There is a nookie-cookie spectrum. When you're younger the marker is pretty much all the way on the nookie side. It starts to slide toward the cookie side gradually as you age.

R179, I Googled and the result said "Closed Permanently."
